I have yet to meet another mother who isn't anxious. From the moment you find out you're going to be in charge of a little human, the mind turns on a bright "OPEN" sign, signaling to all of your worries, concerns, fears, and irrational fantasies to come in, take a seat, and stay awhile. However, unlike most unwelcome guests, a mother's worry and anxiety never leave. From getting pregnant to staying pregnant to labor (LABOR!), or going through the adoption process, the anxiety is a struggle, and the struggle is real.
How do any of us anxious mamas cope (besides watching hilarious mom parodies and taking solace in some very real and honest memes about #momlife)? I've conducted some self-tested research to find 10 simple ways to clear your space of worry and make more room for those moments that make it all worthwhile.
